Two YouTube influencers from Canada who showcased their off-roading adventures died in a crash on Thursday, according to reports.
Stacey Tourout and Matthew Yeomans, who ran social media accounts under @ToyotaWorldRunners, were in an off-road motor vehicle crash on August 7 around 7:30 p.m near Trout Lake in British Columbia, Canada according to The Sun.
“[I]t was on a forestry road, somewhere in the mountains, and quite a long ways north in the valley up towards … the village of Trout Lake,” Kaslo Search and Rescue (SAR) manager Mark Jennings-Bates told the outlet.
Jennings said Kaslo SAR was “able to get to them efficiently,” but one of the vehicle’s occupants was dead at the scene. The other died later at a hospital.

He was reportedly with the couple at the time of the crash, and “did everything” in his power to save them.
